Hoping your streak continues as well!

I have had COVID twice and DH has had it three times. Neither of us ever had a fever. By all rights I should have also gotten it the last time DH had it, but I didn't. So hopefully you will get a pass.

We went whale watching today! DH always wants to go, and I always beg off because I'm afraid of getting sea sick. The weather has been calm, so I thought I'd take a chance, and I was totally fine. We saw several humpback whales. One seemed to come up close to the boat quite deliberately, and gave us several views of her beautiful tail. There was also a pod of dolphins who were feeling rambunctious, and treated us to some hijinks. Very satisfying outing.

DS has to leave tomorrow. It's been so delightful to have the 4 of us together. DH really enjoys it so much also. I was telling DD that it took us longer to run an errand (DH, DS and me) because the two of them had to try all the buttons/features in the rental car, and walk around the car to figure out where all the cameras were. This is the kind of "fun" I'm no good at : )

We were talking about some older (than me) relatives and why they did the things they did. I said to DD, I'm sure you and your brother have some things to say about us, to which she replied, don't worry, we say them to your face. Haha, at least we know what they're thinking.

So glad you get that family time, it is precious!

Seems like you all have a wonderful relationship. How lucky to be able to have this close family time while your children are in that busy time of life.
